• While looking at Rivals.com (sponsored by Yahoo! Sports), Bryan and I came across this Gatorade commercial featuring legendary basketball coach, John Wooden:

    It gave me CHILLS!  I knew that I had to use this for a layout. 

    Guess what I'm doing today??  Designing my June Autoship.  Can you guess where my inspiration for one of the layouts is coming from?

    Happy Wednesday!!!

    Coming up: Get ready for another Bo Bunny Blog Hop on Friday!

  • What a special day we had today!  We started off the day bright and early!  At 7:00 am we were in our car, heading to Logan all dressed and ready for church for the blessing of our niece. 

    2009_04_12_00372009_04_12_0052We took the time while up there to visit the Logan Temple and tried to take some pictures. 

    As you can see, “The boys” were a bit un-cooperative when I wanted to take pictures.

    After eating lunch, we drove home and celebrated the holiday with more family members.  We had our annual egg hunt at Omie’s.  The kids had so much fun.  They love hanging out with their cousins!

  • Hi!  Welcome to my blog!  My name is Amber Packer.  It is my privilege to design for Bo Bunny.

    Since we're still a little new at this whole blog hop thing, I thought I'd share with you what you're doing!  We thought that a blog hop was a super fun way to introduce you to our next guest designer.

    • Start at the Bo Bunny Blog
    • Hop to every blog you're directed to
    • Leave a comment on every blog
    • When you find out who our guest designer is, hop back to the Bo Bunny Blog and leave a comment telling us who she is and something fun she said!
    • We will draw a winner from the comments for an Abbey Road prize package!

    jumpuplayout On Monday we will be featuring our Abbey Road line.  I thought I'd share with you one of my favorite layouts I designed for the catalog.  It features Abbey Road. 

    When I first looked at Abbey Road, it screamed "Easter" especially with Shanna's fun Easter stickers. 

    However, it is a fun, versatile line that can be used for boys as well as girls!  Look how much fun the NEW rub-ons, brads and chipboard letters are!

    You have just made your first "hop" from the Bo Bunny Blog!  From here, you'll "hop" on to visit:

    It's time to unveil my "Amber's Possibilities!" Kit Club layouts from    "A Page 4 All Seasons". 

    I used a new favorite company of mine: Scrap Within Reach & an "old" favorite: My Mind's Eye.  This is the company that I demonstrated on Good Things Utah for last month.  As usual, these layouts are "generic" and can be used with boys, girls or both!

    "Children have their mothers" and "Take time everyday to do something silly".  These pages are accented with flowers, ribbon, bling, die cut papers, transparencies and brads.

    • $25.00:  If you are a member of my "Amber's Possibilities!" Kit Club.  You can sign up at any time and get two double page layouts delivered to your doorstep every month!

  • 2009_03_31_0016a2009_03_31_0001a Today was such a special day!  Neal was baptized & confirmed and became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.  There was such a beautiful and peaceful Spirit at his baptism and during the program.  It was amazing to see all our family and friends that came to share this experience with us. 

    2009_03_31_0096 My mom spoke about Baptism and Bryan’s mom spoke about the Gift of the Holy Ghost.  Neal was overcome by the spirit and tried to cover it up by rubbing his eyes and saying he was “tired”.  My mom gave him a journal to write down his feelings of this day.  Bryan’s mom made him a “comforter” because the Holy Ghost comforts us if we will listen to him.

    His cousins sang “I Am a Child of God” and his grandfather’s were the witnesses that made sure everything was done properly. 

    We were missing two of Bryan’s siblings and one of my sibling and their families.  We love you and missed you!  How lucky we are to Amberhave the gospel in our lives!
